🧛 The Origin of Dracula:
The iconic vampire was popularized by Bram Stoker in his 1897 novel, though the vampire myth existed long before. Stoker drew partial inspiration from Vlad the Impaler, blending Eastern European folklore with Victorian gothic to create the archetypal seductive, monstrous vampire that shaped pop culture forever.
